SYS-CON Events announced today the Containers & Microservices Bootcamp, being held November 3-4, 2015, in conjunction with 17th Cloud Expo, @ThingsExpo, and @DevOpsSummit at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

This is your chance to get started with the latest technology in the industry. Combined with real-world scenarios and use cases, the Containers and Microservices Bootcamp, led by Janakiram MSV, a Microsoft Regional Director, will include presentations as well as hands-on demos and comprehensive walkthroughs.

Containerization and microservices are the hottest trends in the world of distributed computing. They are revolutionizing the way software is designed, developed and deployed. The container phenomenon is impacting architects, developers and system administrators. From large cloud providers to enterprises to startups, every player in the ecosystem is impacted by the container revolution. The rise of containers is driving the adoption of microservices. Emerging technologies like Docker, rkt, LXD, and Hyper-V Containers are making it easy for developers and SysOps professionals to utilize container technology in their microservices architecture.

He will introduce you to Docker and its dynamic ecosystem. You will understand how the microservices architecture is different from current distributed computing models. We will show you how to design, develop and deploy microservices on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. With dedicated sessions for Amazon EC2 Container Services, AWS Lambda, Google Container Engine and Microsoft Service Fabric, this Bootcamp covers the entire spectrum of microservices.

You will get a thorough overview of the orchestration tools such as Kubernetes, Mesosphere, Flocker and Docker Swarm. The immersive two-day workshop will provide you with everything you wanted to know about microservices.

AgendaDay 1

The Shift to Containers and MicroservicesThis session will introduce the core concepts of containers and microservices. We will discuss the evolution of containers and its impact on web-scale computing. You will understand the value containers deliver in the era of cloud-native and web-scale computing.

Getting Started with DockerThis session introduces Docker and its architecture. You will learn everything from installing Docker and writing a "Hello World" containerized application.

Advanced DockerThis session builds upon the previous one by introducing advanced concepts of Docker such as the tools, registry, storage volumes, and networking. You will learn how to move containers from your development environment to production.

Exploring the Docker EcosystemAs one of the most popular open source projects, Docker enjoys a vibrant ecosystem. We will explore the tools developed by the broader ecosystem to manage containerized applications. You will understand how the community is driving the container revolution and what Open Container Project (OCP) means to you.

Day 2

A Closer Look at Microservices ArchitectureThis session will introduce the key concepts of microservices. We will explore the principles of Twelve-Factor Apps in the context of containers and microservices. You will understand the best practices to follow and common pitfalls to avoid when designing composed applications based on microservices. !

Using Kubernetes and Google Container EngineGoogle is one of the key contributors of the container ecosystem. We will understand how Kubernetes helps in deploying and managing microservices. The concepts will be extended to Google Container Engine (GKE), a hosted microservices platform managed by Google.

Designing Microservices with AWSAWS has two services aligned with the microservices paradigm - AWS Lambda and Amazon EC2 Container Service. We will explore both these services through real-world scenarios.

Microservices on Microsoft AzureMicrosoft invested heavily in containers and microservices. We will explore the concepts of Microsoft Service Fabric, Hyper-V Containers and deploying microservices on Azure.

He is a Guest Faculty at the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-H) where he teaches Cloud Computing, Containers, Big Data, DevOps to the students enrolled for the Masters course.

He has worked at world-class product companies including Microsoft Corporation, Amazon Web Services and Alcatel-Lucent. His last role was with Amazon Web Services as the Technology Evangelist where he joined them as the first employee in India. Prior to that, he spent 10 years at Microsoft Corporation where he was involved in selling, marketing and evangelizing the Microsoft Application Platform and Tools. At the time of leaving Microsoft, he was a Cloud Architect focused on Windows Azure.

The @DevOpsSummit at Cloud Expo - to be held November 3-5, 2015, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California - will expand the DevOps community, enable a wide sharing of knowledge, and educate delegates and technology providers alike. Recent research has shown that DevOps dramatically reduces development time, the amount of enterprise IT professionals put out fires, and support time generally. Time spent on infrastructure development is significantly increased, and DevOps practitioners report more software releases and higher quality.

Speaking Proposals OpenThe 5th International @DevOpsSummit, co-located with 17th International Cloud Expo - being held November 3-5, 2015, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA - announces that its Call for Papers is open.

DevOps Summit Power Panel | Balancing the Three Pillars of DevOps

In this @DevOpsSummit Power Panel - moderated by Andi Mann (founder of @Sageable) - Shannon Williams, co-founder of Rancher Labs; Haseeb Budhani, co-founder and CEO of Soha; and Dalibor Siroky, Director and co-founder atPlutora; discussed how to balance these three pillars of DevOps, where to focus attention (and resources), where organizations might slip up with the wrong focus, how to manage change and risk in all three areas, what is possible and what is not, where to start, and especially how new structures, processes, and technologies can help drive a new DevOps culture.

Microservices & IoT Power Panel at @DevOpsSummitBuzzword Alert: Microservices and IoT at a DevOps conference? What could possibly go wrong?

In this Power Panel at @DevOpsSummit, moderated by Jason Bloomberg, president of Intellyx, panelists Roberto Medrano, Executive Vice President at Akana; Lori MacVittie, Evangelist for F5 Networks; and Troy Topnik, ActiveState's Technical Product Manager; and Otis Gospodnetić, founder of Sematext; peeled away the buzz and discuss the important architectural principles behind implementing IoT solutions for the enterprise. As remote IoT devices and sensors become increasingly intelligent, they become part of our distributed cloud environment, and we must architect and code accordingly. At the very least, you'll have no problem filling in your buzzword bingo cards.

Containers & Microservices Expo To Be Colocated with @DevOpsSummit Silicon Valley, November 3-5, 2015 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, CASYS-CON Events announced on June 9, 2015 at the Javits Center that the 2nd "Containers & Microservices Conference" will take place November 3-5, 2015, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA, and the "Third Containers & Microservices Conference" will take place June 7-9, 2016, at Javits Center in New York City.

Containers and microservices have become topics of intense interest throughout the cloud developer and enterprise IT communities.

Microservices focuses on the business and technology of the software architecture design pattern, in which complex applications are composed of small, independent processes communicating with each other using language-agnostic APIs.

Containers are not being considered for the first time by the cloud community, but a current era of re-consideration has pushed them to the top of the cloud agenda.

Rather than just stuff an OS into a container, for example, developers and deployers should consider a spectrum of microservices and what they can do.
